Thanks for reading, Peter! It's always nice to meet other fans! And thanks for commenting!

Like I said, I'm not too attached to the character personalities I've created. I like the idea of Django as a generally good character. Dante's something of a smart-Alec and Nero is pretty much a jerk, too, so I thought a toned-down, more practical personality would be a nice change. I also thought it might be fun if he had a sense of humor. Maybe that's not quite in the spirit of DMC, though, right? As for raised by a gang, that's kind of what happened to Dante, already, if that much of the DMC novels remains canon.

Part of why I made the Onikirimaru a single o-katana was so that it would deliberately be like the Yamato. That doesn't mean it has to be this way, but I'm already planning ahead for the sequel, when "Dante" meets "Vergil" and people think "Dante" is Dante because he has the Rebellion and "Vergil" is really Vergil because he has the katana. Then there's the awesome last-minute switcharoo where the brothers reveal themselves to have been masquerading as each other the entire game. There is still plenty of room for a two-katana or katana-wakizashi pair of Devil Arms to be in this game; look at all the boss battles I didn't write about!
